PHP - Calculate Average Per Day And Month

I can't remember the math to do this, but I use MySQL to calculate an average:

5 = 100%
0 = 0%

I want to make a bar that shows an average (like a bar graph)

so lets say I get 2.5 as one of my returned results, that means the bar should only be 50% long of the maximum width.

Using calculations, how can I get the number 50 (the max width is 100% of a table cell)?

If you had a function that calculated the average of a fixed quantity of numbers, what type of scope issues would you anticipate?

Hi.

Im trying to make a PHP code that will find the average number.

What I want is, a lot of input fields where you can write a number in.

Then my code should take these numbers and divide them with the amount of input fields that has been written in.

So that some fields you don't have to write a number, and the code will still give you a correct average.

My code so far:

Code: [Select]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['calc']))
{
$m=$_POST['mat'];
$e=$_POST['da'];
$s=$_POST['eng'];
$f=$_POST['fys'];
$h=$_POST['bio'];
$p=$_POST['geo'];
$ave=($m+$e+$s+$f+$h+$p)/;
}
?>

<a href="" onclick="return hs.htmlExpand(this, { headingText: 'Beregn dit Gennemsnit:' })">
<b>Beregn dit Gennemsnit:&nbsp;&nbsp; <?php echo $ave;?></b><br></br>
</a>
<div class="highslide-maincontent">
<form id="gennemsnit" name="form1" method="post" action="">
Matematik<input name="math" type="text" id="mat" size="3" maxlength="4" /><br />
Dansk<input name="eng" type="text" id="da" size="3" maxlength="4" /><br />
Engelsk<input name="sci" type="text" id="eng" size="3" maxlength="4" /><br />
Fysik<input name="fil" type="text" id="fys" size="3" maxlength="4" /><br />
Biologi<input name="he" type="text" id="bio" size="3" maxlength="4" /><br />
Geografi<input name="pe" type="text" id="geo" size="3" maxlength="4" /></td><br />
<input name="calc" type="submit" id="calc" value="Beregn"/><br /><br />
</form>
What I need is the code of how to divide with the amount of input fields that has been written in.

thanks for any help

Hi,

I'm trying to get out the average of records stored in a mysql table

This is the code im using right now
Code: [Select]
mysql_query("SELECT DATE(dato) , COUNT( dato ) AS counted FROM dekodere GROUP BY date(dato)", $link);
$ave = mysql_num_rows($ave);
This is getting out the average, but i need to exclude weekends because there is not stored anything during the weekend so it's making the average go off..

any tips?

Hi,   I have a blog which records the amount of views on each article. I now want to be able to work out the average number of views per hour.   How can I work out the number of hours passed from a datetime format?   From there I can just do views divided by hours passed.   Thanks in advance!    

Nice forum here.

I know nothing about PHP and need some help.

Here is the deal. Members on a forum will be rating products. There will be 4 (this number could change) fields where they will select a number from a drop down menu to rate different characteristics of the product. I need to average those numbers for the overall rating.

The code that outputs the individual numbers selected looks like this:

{$data['record']['field_14']}

14 being one of the fields, and 15, etc.

So what I need is code that takes multiple fields and outputs the average number.

I appreciate any help! And please keep in mind I am not familiar with PHP coding, so if you could be as detailed as possible I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Could someone please advise the best way to determine the average of a DATE field in a SELECT query?    

Hi,

Firstly, these are my tables:

CLASS
class_id                class_name
1                           Donkeys
2                           Monkeys
4                           Classic
9                           Humans

COURSES
class_id                courses_number
9                           6
9                           2
1                           3
2                           2


I would like to print average course_number for each class_name.
So for class_name Donkeys would have average course_number 3.
And for clasS_name Humans, average course_number is 4.

Do you get my point?

I manage to display data using below query that will show value for each month. How to calculate average value starting july onwards(based on user selection).   Let say the value for element 'A'  are Jul=80, Aug= 80, Sep=90. If user select Aug then the average is 80 and if user select Sep then the average is 83.   Query:

$sql2 = "Select element,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'Jan' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS Jan,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'Feb' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS Feb,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'Mac' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS Mac,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'Apr' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS Apr,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'May' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS May,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'Jun' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS Jun,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'Jul' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS Jul,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'Aug' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS Aug,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'Sep' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS Sep,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'Oct' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS Oct,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'Nov' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS Nov,
	SUM(CASE WHEN Month = 'Dec' THEN total ELSE 0 END ) AS Dis
	FROM tbl_ma GROUP BY element";
	$rs2 = mysql_query($sql2);
	$getRec2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs2);

Below is how print the data:

<?php 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs2)) {
?>
<tr>
<td style="color:black;background-color:#f5efef"><div align="left"><?php echo $row['element']; ?></div></td>
<?php if( $year != '2014' ){ ?>
<?php if( 1 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['Jan']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<?php if( 2 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['Feb']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<?php if( 3 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['Mac']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<?php if( 4 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['Apr']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<?php if( 5 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['May']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<?php if( 6 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['Jun']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php if( 7 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['Jul']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<?php if( 8 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['Aug']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<?php if( 9 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['Sep']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<?php if( 10 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['Oct']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<?php if( 11 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['Nov']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<?php if( 12 <= $monthID ): ?><td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php echo $row['Dis']; ?></div></td><?php endif; ?>
<td><div align="center" style="color:black"><?php //echo average; ?></div></td>
</tr>                                  
<?php } ?>

 

I have a table of restaurant menu items called menu_items.  This table has a float row(3,2) called price.  I have a query that looks like this:

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM menu_items WHERE restaurant = '".$restaurantid."'");

How would I find the average of the price row from that query?  Basically I want to find the average item price for a restaurants menu.

I have a "Users" table. I would like to find out the average users sign up in total. This table has a "joined date" column so I can track how many users sign up in a single day.

For e.g.

August 16 - 10 users

August 17 - 20 users

Auguest 18 - 30 users

The total average of user sign ups would be 20 users based on the above results.

So I am wondering how can I create this function?

This is my starting query.

$get_users = $db->prepare("SELECT user_id FROM users");
$get_users->execute();
$result_users = $get_users->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if(count($result_users) > 0) {
  foreach($result_users as $row) {
    $user_id = $row['user_id'];
  }
}

 

OK, since today is the 31st, I guess I figured out that strtotime("-1 Month') really only goes back 30 days, so where I think it should be September, its registering October 1st. Is there a fix for this?
Code: [Select]
$month = date('F Y', strtotime("-1 month"));
$month1 = date('F Y', strtotime("-2 month"));
$month2 = date('F Y', strtotime("-3 month"));
$month3 = date('F Y', strtotime("-4 month"));
$month4 = date('F Y', strtotime("-5 month"));
$month5 = date('F Y', strtotime("-6 month"));

Hello everyone

I am coding a membership system for my usersystem on my website and I needed a little help. I have searched around quite a bit and can't find a working code.

In my database I have the date the VIP was purchased and I was wondering if anyone had a code which would check if they've had VIP for over a month and if so, delete it from the database.

I'm new-ish to MySQL and PHP and can't seem to code a working one. 

Hello,
Doing a little calendar where days are incremented as variable $i formatted like 'j' or single digit numbers 1,2,3 etc.  (The calendar works fine)
However for querying DB tables I need the day formatted as 'd' or 01,02,03 etc. so on any day I need to make this conversion.

I can't find an easy solution though there must be one.  Thanks in advance.
Code: [Select]
<?php
//test day
$i=7;
$day=date('d', mktime($i));
echo "$day";
//Should be 07
?>

I need to find the last Friday of each month and determine the start and end dates of each month based on the last Friday.  So, for September, the last Friday was the 27th, that means Saturday the 28th will be the last day of September.  September 29 will then start the first day of October....  October 25 is the last Friday in October, so Saturday October 26 will close out October.....  Sun Oct 27 starts November, etc...

7/28 - 8/31

9/1 - 9/28

9/29 - 10/26

10/27 - 11/30

I can build a table and manually key in the start and end dates then query as needed, but if there is a way to do it on the fly, I'd rather do it in php to eliminate mistakes.

 

Below is the code I'm currently using to find the first and last day of each calendar month, but I'll need to convert this to find the fiscal month based on the last Saturday of each month.  And go back a few years in the option select.

      <select name="dateselect" id="dateselect">


          <?php


          $today = date("Y-m-d");
          $monthbegin =   date("Y-m-d",strtotime('first day of this month', strtotime($today)));

          for( $i= 0 ; $i <= 52 ; $i++ )
          {
          if($i == 0){
          $monthselect = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($monthbegin));
          $monthdisplay = date('F Y',strtotime($monthbegin));
          echo '<option ' . ($i == 0 ? 'selected=\'selected\'' : '') . ' value="' . $monthselect . '" >' . $monthdisplay . '</option>';
          }
          else{
          $monthselect = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('-'."$i".' months',strtotime($monthbegin)));
          $monthdisplay = date('F Y',strtotime('-'."$i".' months',strtotime($monthbegin)));
          echo '<option ' . ($i == 0 ? 'selected=\'selected\'' : '') . ' value="' . $monthselect . '" >' . $monthdisplay . '</option>';

          }




          }
          ?>
          </select>

  $begin_date = $_GET["dateselect"];
  $end_date = date("Y-m-t", strtotime($begin_date));
